GURPS Prime Directive (2002)
Notes: Roleplaying in the Star Fleet Universe (based on elements of the original "Star Trek" Television series).
The GURPS Prime Directive Core Rulebook (Powered by GURPS) is designed as a stand-alone rulebook based on the GURPS Lite rules, but expanded by additional material from other core GURPS rulebooks including Space, Basic Set, Compendium I, and Compendium II. However, it has been carefully designed so that if GMs and players wish to use rules presented in other GURPS rulebooks (such as the Basic Set) they may do so, and just use the information presented in the GPD core rulebook to expand their campaigns into the Star Fleet Universe. One of the strengths of GPD is that whatever kind of planet a GM wants to send his players to, there is probably an existing GURPS book to cover it.
While the initial Prime Directive roleplaying game ten years ago restricted characters to being members of a Prime Team (sort of command-scientist-diplomats), GPD gets rid of all such restrictions! Players can create characters that are bridge officers aboard a starship, members of a mercenary combat team, officers and crew aboard a merchant ship, agents working for the Galactic Intelligence Agency, Star Fleet Marines, a non-governmental relief agency, investigative journalists, or any other type of character that you want to play.
